After the Federal Reserve released hawkish signals, Goldman Sachs changed its stance: expects another 25 basis point hike in October
Goldman Sachs’ core rationale for including a rate hike in October as its baseline scenario is that since the Federal Reserve has characterized this hike as a move to "more promptly return" to the 2% target, following up in consecutive meetings is more natural than skipping meetings between hikes.
